A growing sentiment among Americans is that Prince Harry should not be granted any special privileges in the United States.
The general consensus is that if Prince Harry truly desires to be on equal footing with Meghan Markle, he must be willing to part ways with his royal title.
This viewpoint emerged from a recent poll conducted among the American public.
In a statement made back in February, the Duke of Sussex expressed his contemplation of pursuing US citizenship.
During a press briefing, he admitted to grappling with uncertainties regarding his participation in the upcoming Invictus Games.
He candidly shared, “It just dawned on me, but it’s not my primary focus at the moment.”
Consequently, a substantial number of anonymous American voices have resonated, advocating against altering the country’s regulations to accommodate a foreign prince.
Under current US legislation, individuals seeking American citizenship are mandated to renounce any allegiance to a foreign monarch.
Therefore, Prince Harry would be required to relinquish his title unless modifications are made to the existing laws.
However, a recent survey commissioned by Newsweek revealed that a significant portion of the American populace opposes such legislative adjustments.
The survey, administered by pollsters Redfield and Wilton and involving 1,500 American adults, unveiled compelling insights.
A notable 44% of respondents, totaling 528 individuals, voiced their dissent towards altering the law to accommodate Prince Harry.
Conversely, only 23% of participants, equivalent to 276 individuals, expressed support for potential legislative amendments allowing him to retain his title.
The remaining 32%, comprising 384 individuals, remained undecided on the matter.
Legal experts have proposed a potential avenue for Prince Harry to retain his title while pursuing US citizenship.
